NIRMALA’S ‘DISCERNING EYES’ HAVE MAGICAL POWERS

DENIAL HAS BECOME HALLMARK OF MODI GOVERNMENT
K Raveendran - 2019-11-30 17:12
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is endowed with a rare ‘discerning eye’, which has certain magical powers to see imaginary things and filter out the real ones. Not everyone can be expected to have such special faculties. But she has a problem there: she cannot imagine that not everyone is as lucky as she is.

GDP’S TOUCHING NEW LOW PROVES MODI TOTALLY WRONG

EVEN STRONG ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS COULD NOT UNDO THE DAMAGE
Gyan Pathak - 2019-11-30 15:57
Four months from now, the financial year 2019-20 will come to an end. Eight months have already passed with such a fall in the GDP growth rate that all our hopes have been shattered. Slowdown in the Indian economy cannot be reversed in near future. The country cannot realize the budgeted GDP growth rate for this year. The fall in GDP growth rate has touched a new low at 4.5 per cent in the second quarter as against 5 percent in the first. It is worst after 2012-13 when the base year was changed for the new series of the data. The average growth rate in the first six month is thus merely 4.75 per cent, and then in the last two months, the economic and financial crises have signalled a further decline.

MAHARASHTRA’S PAWAR-PLAY HAS SENT BJP TOP BRASS REELING

SHIV SENA’S FIRST THACKERAY CM TO LEAD ‘SECULAR’ GOVERNMENT
Harihar Swarup - 2019-11-30 15:53
Politics is a weird game; yesterday’s enemies are today’s allies. Nobody thought the Congress and Shiv Sena will come on the same platform. One can give some margin to NCP; the Congress-NCP have been in alliance for so long. The BJP and Shiv Sena follow the same ideology and have been allies for about three decades. One can say their commitment is only to one ideology, that is grabbing power.
